WPI Nano Life Science Institute,
Kanazawa University

Visualizing small things leads
to big discoveries.

We, scientists at the Nano Life Science Institute, are making nanoscale observations of "life-phenomena" using unique scanning probe microscopes to demystify this "uncharted nano-world of life science" to advance the science.
